Pro purse announced for halfpipe (midi) and park comp at the Mandurah Games in Australia
The 2015 Mandurah action sports games are now underway and are set to take place on the 13th - 15th march 2015. There is $20000 prize purse for the skatepark competition with the bmx share listed below. If you're in need for some cash and you think you've got it to make some money riding your bike, the Mandurah action sports games will be the place to be for you that weekend in March. It will be good to see 10 vert riders on the deck as well as the first ten riders get paid the same as the first ten riders in park. Or enter both!
Stolen has teamed up with Multicam to create this one of a kind 24” BMX cruiser. The bike has been donated to Crye Precision’s annual SHOT Show silent auction, which benefits various Military Special Operations charities. We at Stolen were excited when presented with the opportunity to work with the amazing people at Crye/Multicam, especially for such a noble cause. We started this project just over a month ago and partnered with American Firearms in La Habra, Californa who Hydrographically dipped the frame, fork and bar in the Multicam pattern, provided by Crye Precision. Multicam provided some 500d heavy-duty material for our handmade Pivotal seat. Spartan Village of Gainesville, Virgina stepped up and donated our custom StlnBikes/Multicam/Infared headtube patch with an amazing 24 hour turn around (thanks Vic).
We would like to thank everyone involved in making this happen and are truly honored to have been a part of this project.
